Joao Rojas, an attacker for Barcelona Sporting Club, recently delighted fans by invoking a famous phrase associated with the team's history during a fan interaction event. While taking photos and signing autographs for supporters who expressed their gratitude for his contributions to the team's success in the Copa Libertadores, Rojas exclaimed, "Cinco a cero, coqueta," which translates to '5-0, flirtatious.' This phrase recalls two significant victories where Barcelona SC defeated their rivals Emelec by a score of 5-0 in the Clásicos del Astillero, once in 2012 and again in 2016.

The context of Rojas's statement comes after Barcelona SC's recent match where they eliminated Argentinos Juniors in a tense penalty shootout, allowing the team to progress to the third phase of the prestigious Copa Libertadores tournament. This moment was not just a celebration of their victory but also a nostalgic reminder of the club's past glories that resonate deeply with its fanbase.

Rojas's comments were met with enthusiastic approval from the gathered fans, highlighting the strong connection between the players and the supporters. Such moments of interaction foster a sense of community and loyalty among fans, further solidifying Barcelona SC's reputation as one of Ecuador’s most passionate football clubs.
